Definition
The configuration result shows the BOM of the configurable material according to the settings in the configuration profile.
Use
You can display the configuration result if Result is selected as an allowed screen in the configuration screen.
You can display the configuration result in the configuration simulation, in sales documents, and when processing the order BOM.
The BOM explosion in the sales order depends on the settings in the configuration profile:Configuration Profile |

Non-Variable Parts and Variant Parts
In the configuration result of a BOM, you see the components that were selected according to the characteristic values assigned.
These include:These components are required in all variants of the product. They are not dependent on specific characteristic values.
These components are not always required in configuration. They are only required for specific variants of the product. Selection conditions define when a component is included in the configuration.
Changes to BOM Items
BOM items can be changed either manually or by the system:
Configuration is Active on Request
You can configure on request on the result screen. choose Configuration ® Configurator and select Active on request. If the configuration is not active, dependencies are only processed when you choose Configure, and system performance improves.
Integration
You can display the configuration result in a simulation, when you configure a product in a sales order, and when you process an order BOM.
